I had one of my students move in to a Greek house (in La Fiesta Tech) she was a member of. Her performance meter was lowered as if she had to build up 2 more skills, but the skill level that was highlighted had already been filled. There is no way to expand the 
performance meter, so I have a feeling she’s going to be on academic probation at the end of the quarter! When I moved her back in a dorm or a non-greek house, the meter was back to fully expanded. I tried moving her to the greek house two different ways: using the phone, and having one of the existing members invite her to move in. Both resulted in the erroneous performance meter as seen to the right. She originally was a math major, and I switched to Drama since it needed 3 body skill points while she only had 2. But after she gained a body skill point, the meter didn’t move.
Her dad is part alien, and I used a cheat to get her mom to have green skin. So maybe that is causing the problem. If she goes on probation, I guess I’ll try moving the whole family to a different lot to see if that helps. I guess I can try inviting her sister to join the Greek house to see if it happens to her too.
Ok, I just had her visit a community lot and the meter is fully expanded again. So it’s either just Greek Houses or just that one particular house.
She didn’t go on probation! Just do some assignments, go to class, maybe write the term paper and the meter will be full enough to get on the Dean’s List, even if it is still in the red. Or just go to the community lots to check the progress on the meter.
thanks for posting that my sim just had the same problem only she was living in a normal dorm. her sister though, who shared the dorm with her, didn’t have the same problem, so i don’t really know why that happened.
anyway, thanks to your post, i know it’s alright. thanks.
This is my first time i visit here. I found so many entertaining stuff in your blog, especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I am not the only one having all the enjoyment here! Keep up the good work.
